"Sound Check" in iTunes!

There is a feature called "Sound Check" in iTunes and what it does is it adjusts the volume of playlists so that you don't have to change the volume all the time. iTunes actually analyzes the volume of all songs to make the adjustments. You can enable the feature in iTunes' preferences, under Playback.

It doesn't work very well. It does make songs that were too soft a normal volume, but it ruins songs that are at an acceptable level by making them too soft. If you select sound check for burning a CD, you'll have to crank up the volume on your playing device.
